A denazified - NSFK Großes NSFK-Segelfliegerabzeichen.

It is constructed out of multi-piece iron metal base that has been silver washed, black burnished and contains white enamel work. The round shaped obverse features three Luftwaffe ‘gulls’ above an oak leaf and acorn wreath. The lower Icarus NFSK emblem has been scratched out / denazified. The reverse reads: “Eigentum Des NS – Fliegerkorps”, “Ges Gesch 29240” it has been mostly scratched out. It also features a soldered on block hinge, c-shaped catch and round wire pin. 95% of the enamel remains intact. It measures 1 ¾ inches in diameter. A rare badge to find!
